Decision Step Outcome

Hi Folks,
We are using webdynpro application to approve the workitem in UWL. This is a standard decision step and we have made a custom screen in webdynpro with approve and reject buttons Once approver clicks on approve or reject button, we are populating container fields _WI_Result and _Result as '0001' for approved and '0002' for rejected.
The issue that we are facing is , for some scenarions, even though the value in container is populated as '0002', but in workflow log it is showing decision step as approved. As a result of this, despite rejection , worklow is going to next step approval. Please provide your inputs how to tackle this.
Please note we are facing this issue for some scenarios only, for rest of instances, the decision is populated correctly for both approved and rejected workitems.
Regards,
Sangvir

We are using FM 'SWW_WI_CONTAINER_MODIFY' to update the container field for above mentioned values. Could that be issue that it is not updating values in database container correctlt.
Would using sap_wapi_write_container be a better approach here?

Decision Step outcomes in English language only

Hi,
My issue is little bit different, In my workflow template (WF) i have one user Decision step and currently outcomes are coming in Logon language. but my requirement is to display in English language only. I am working on 4.6c version. When i try to maintain translation by SWDD->extras->translation->translation.this is in display mode and i am not able to change. is something with authorizations??.
Please help me thanks a lot in advance,
Mohan

I think you can directly change the outcome from table SWD_TEXT.
I think you just click in stead of double clicking which will open the particular step and follow the path Extras->Translation->translation.
Thanks

Looping a single branch in User Decision Step

Hi All,
Can anyone tell me is looping possible for a single branch in user decision step in a workflow?
If yes, How?
I want like to loop the step cancel and keep workitem inbox.
Whenever the user clicks cancel and keep workitem in inbox in a user decision and again executes the WI i would like the workflow to start execution from the step just above the user decision step, i.e; Display PR.
This is my requirement. Tell me how can i implement it?
Thanks,
Raj

Hi,
instead of doing so, you could try to enter that method as "secondary method" or "before method" within the tab-strip "Methods".
If you used your own coding for a decision, you could enable the exception 8015 of the method's result, which is the cancel-button. If you did so, you can enable that outcome in the workflow-activity's definition.
Best wishes,
Florin

User Decision step in UWL

Hi,
I have a 3 user decision steps in my Customised workflow which uses the task TS00008267. Each task has different decison text and outcome. When this is executed through UWl the outcome does not appear as they are in SBWP.
Does this need and Portal Configuration?
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
There are two thing you need to do.
First, you need to configure the SWFVISU.
Run Tcode SWFVISU.
here, select "Task Visualization' and maintain your standard task ( TS ) with ABAP web dynpro option.
Now selct your entry and click on Visualization Parameters as mentopn below.
APPLICATION ( WD application name )
DYNPARAM
NAMESPACE
SYSTEM_ALIAS
Second, ask Portal team to chagne the XML code for the above standard task and application ( i.e. WD appilcation which will be launced on clicking the task ).
From the next run of the workflow, WD applcitoon will be lauched from the protal.
for the old workitem this will not work.
Note : If u do not configure SWFVISU then WD application will not lauch but user will get SAP gui screen for processing it.
xlm code must be changed corresponding task for both case.
Thanks and ragards,

Probelm with decision step type

Hi,
I am using the decision step type to display release and reject the options to the approver . i am using the latest end tab to escalate( forward) the workitem to next available approver .( deadline monitoring 30 min) .
workitem is generating in the 2nd available approver inbox after 30 min . but the same workitem is still available in the 1st approver inbox ( of course it display the message the following deadline was missed and latest end reached) .
But even after the 2nd approver gets the workitem in his inbox ,the 1st approver is able to execute the same workitem by ignoring the message .
Please can any one explain me what is reason behind this.
Please can any one helping me how can i delete the workitem in the 1st approver inbox once the workitem is created in the 2nd approver inbox .

Just follow the steps
1)You can use Latest End Tab in a Step which is attached to a task. Use Modelled deadline. Using this another branch is created from the step.
2)Activate the Outcome Processing obsolete for the Step that needs to be sent to the Manager.
3) Now put a process control in the branch that has been created due to modelled deadline. Use "Set Workitem to Obsolete" in the Function and provide the Step number in which the deadline step is incorporated.
4) Now create another step at the branch Processing obsolete of the step that has the deadline and copy the above step with deadline removing the deadline part. This step is only for 2nd approver.

Decision step to UWL

Hi All,
I have created a Z workflow in SRM and all the decision workitems for this workflow are going to SRM portal. I have kept only one outcome in that decision step called Approve.
When I am opening this wi on Portal I can not see Approve button. There are few standard buttons are appearing.
I suspect that there are some Portal config required to achieve this, If yes then please advise.
Thanks

Hi,
You might want to ask this from SRM workflow forum.

Decision Step In Work flow

Hi Workflower's
Thanks a lot for all your reply!
I'm having one problem in Decision step when work item is generated and placed under SAP inbox while user select particular work item then decision option "Choose one of the following alternatives" Approve / Reject / Cancel need to be displayed under the same screen in down side but it's going to next screen and showing the Approve / Reject / Cancel.
I should display these decision in the SBWP screen at downside instead of going through double clik and showing that
Whether it's possible if please provide me details how to solve.

Hi,
Do you mean you want to show in the Reading pane of SBWP rather than double clicking the workitem in SBWP.
Its not a mail... it will be a work item so you have to execute the work item.. and its a must. thats a difference between work item and a text mail
Hope this would help you.
Good luck

Container variables in User decision Step in BPM

Hello,
I am using User decision Step in BPM.
When i use only text in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully and Status in SXI_CACHE also shows 0.
If I use container variables in "Title for Display" the BPM is activated successfully but status in SXI_CACHE shows 99.
It shows the below error
"Problem updating an integration process with object ID 073AF2C620F43E839B2903344DEE29BB. Symbol 'CE/KO' expected at position 1 in expression ''
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shabari

Hi Shabari, did you follow the steps for declaration of variables as in [SAP help for user decisions|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwpi71/helpdata/en/42/c2a19fb4511d65e10000000a1553f6/content.htm]? How did you define your variable?
Maybe discussion [in this thread|BPM activation Error in SXI_cache; can help, it is unanswered though.

Decision step with method before workitem execution

I have a decision step, which uses method before workitem execute uses BO Bus2094 - 'Display' method.
When an agent receives a workitem, try to execute the workitem 'Getting an information message 'Error when starting submethod'.
When i see the information of the error -
"At least one submethod could not be processed.
See the technical Workflow log to determine the error cause."
When i check technical log of workitem, 2 steps are in error mode.
1. Dialog work item executed - Error when starting submethod
2. EXECUTE_METHODS - System error in asynchronous method start
This is happening in Quality system, not in DEV system.
Any inputs to resolve this.

Hi,
@Sivagami: I wonder, how a container element e.g. BUS2094 that was passed to a copy of the DECISION task is automatically executed just before the decision dialog? Good stuff, if it works like this, I'll try this at a later time.
@Indira: Depending on the Release and such things I have expirienced several smaller bugs regarding the decision steps, especially when extending the data flow (from/to workitem), using the in-place-decision Workitem exit. So maybe you're already doing everything right, but just the inbox doesn't works as designed.
To work around this problem, you could enter the object methods as a secondary method, which then will display the Sales document in a separate window,
or you follow the proposal of Sivagami. If the Sales document doesn't seem to appear, you could enforce the display, by globally substitute the business object DECISION to one of your own, re-define the object's method Process that read the business object fromt the work item container and executes it's display method, which is basically the same result you'd like to have.
Best wishes,
Florin

Terminating Event with Decision Step

Hi,
In our purchase requisition approval workflow, I need to have a decision step in which to prompt approver to either approve the req. or reject the requisition. In this decision step, I need for it to have terminating events for "SIGNIFICANTLYCHANGED", "RELEASE", "REJECT" and "RESET".
First, I copy the generic decision task 8267 to my my own custom decision task. Then I added a BUS2009 in the container, releasecode and other needed elements. In this custom decision task, I was able to add these terminating events that has been defined in the BUS2009. I was able to setup binding, except the one binding
Terminating Event ->   Task
&_EVT_OBJECT&      ->   &_WI_OBJECT_ID&
Since the &_EVT_OBJECT& for the terminating event is BUS2009. And the custom decision task &_WI_OBJECT_ID& is DECISION business object. They're incompatable business object. So I replaced that binding with
Terminating Event     -> Task
&_EVT_OBJECT&    ->   &PURCHASE_REQ&
After all the configuration has been setup. I created a new purchase requisition. Upon the RELEASESTEPCREATED event, it create a custom decision workitem in my agent's inbox. When I triggered the "RELEASE" event, it is however not terminating my custom decision workitem. The workitem still sits in the agent's inbox waiting to be execute.
Is it possible to setup terminating events for decision step? Any kind of suggestions or inputs would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

System Analyst

I will suggest you to create a fork with 2 parallel branch and 1 necessary branch. Put the approval step in 1 branch and the wait for Release step event in another branch in this way you can suffice your requirment.
Thanks

Display descirption in BO link in Decision step instead of keyfields

Hi All,
I have created a workflow in Records management which is integrated with SRM for the approval of documents. I have a user decision step in my workflow which has many documents displayed as links during approval. For this i copied the std decision task and created my own task and added the business object 'DOCUMENT' ( multi line element). Now it is displaying the documents correctly. but it shows the link as 'BO: key fields' . In this case the key fields are combination of document class and document guid.
Now the requirement is to display the description of the document instead of keyfields. The description will be available as one of the attribute for the document BO.
Can anyone help on this requirement?
Thanks,
Sivagami R

Hi,
Assign "Description as your default attribute in your BO basic data...
this will work...
